Osama bin Laden vs. Darfur

posted by Adam (Southern California) on April 23rd, 2006

In Osama bin Laden’s latest tape, he calls on “mujahedeen and their supporters, especially in Sudan and the Arab peninsula, to prepare for long war again the crusader plunderers in Western Sudan.” Apparently he’s concerned about UN peacekeepers moving in to try to stop the genocide in Darfur. “Our goal is not defending the Khartoum government but to defend Islam, its land and its people.” Maybe he didn’t get the memo that the violence in Darfur is Muslim-on-Muslim. Or maybe black Muslims are less Muslim than Arab Muslims in bin Laden’s world. Or maybe he’s just a bloodthirsty maniac who figures that if Muslims are killing people, that must be a good thing.

Hey, hasn’t it been like 4 and a half years now since the U.S. pledged to find this guy?
